The fileservers will be for about 3500+ concurrent clients. We're looking at a HP EVA3000 or an EMC CX300, both...

Hello, We have a storage system which is a RAID5 with 8 disks and around 3 TB netto, connected via 2x fibre channel to a fibre channel switch and from there with two servers. The servers run Linux, one is an 8 processor 64b machine mostly for number crunching, the other 2 processor 32b mostly...

I'm in the process of putting together a new backup solution for one of our file servers and I wanted to throw my idea out there and see what sort of flaws there are in the plan, that I can't see myself. We've got a server that has outgrown its current tape backup (40/80 dlt). The server will...
